Espanyol, with an ERA of goal facing almost one hundred per cent, profit to perfection the two goals from striker Jose Alley and took the points (1-2) of Sánchez Pizjuán before a Sevilla that this time again to uncover once again his enormous defensive shortcomings. Andalusian side had an opportunity to reaffirm their recovery after a terrible run of five consecutive league games lost that has been dealt with two straight wins in this tournament-Osasuna (1-0) and Real Sociedad (2-3) - and good progress in the Copa del Rey.Front, however, he found a rival of the most prominent so far in the campaign as it moves through the European places of the standings, so it is expected an ordeal, as it were. Espanyol went dynamic but, as usual away from home, with less powder in your field and this time even less by the absence through injury of striker, Argentine Pablo Daniel Osvaldo.
The hosts gradually took the initiative and the Brazilian Luis Fabiano, twice world champion and Jesus Navas, on the other hand, came close to beat Cameroon goalkeeper Carlos Kameni, but time passed and the goal was resisted well against an opponent defense and armed with the confidence to go out on the counter.
The game entered the last phase of the first period with a local team eager but when the ball was stuck to move in the vicinity of the visiting area without Jesus Navas and Argentina's Diego Perotti know go smoothly on their bands. The group coached by Argentine Mauricio Pochettino seemed content with that in seeking leave to rest with the initial draw, but a long ball caught the back of the Sevilla defense and Joseph Lane, just before Javi Varas, had advanced in his own the scoring with four minutes to fulfill the regular time in this part.
He made no more than Sevilla Espanyol for 0-1, but was very effective in defining and men led by Gregorio Manzano took in the second half, as happened last Saturday in San Sebastian and Wednesday at Villarreal Cup, rowing against the tide to go back to fix the mess. Long Passes Ivorian midfielder Romaric Ndri on Luis Fabiano and Frederic Kanoute Mali re-created danger for Sevilla to the first exchange, but also Javi Marquez had the 0-2 in his boots, though they were Javi Varas.
As in the first part, training always tried Seville but accuracy, though now the Espanyol tried to go faster to stop the clash over track. In this dynamic seemed clear that the locals got the equalizer, but Kameni was also noted for time pass and it did not happen, especially when Lane took advantage of a monumental red herring defense to put Sevilla 0-2 to 78 minutes, leaving already sentenced the crash, since both Alvaro Negredo, in the extension, could not give anymore.
